1.1 New Railway line between Chityal and Jaggaiahpet: At present broad gauge line is passing through Nalgonda district from Secunderabad to Guntur deviating at Chityal Mandal head quarter which is located on National Highway No.65. The other important towns such as Narketpally, Nakrekal, Suryapet and Kodad towns of Nalgonda and Suryapet Districts are not connected with any railway communication.

Remarks: There is no sanction available for Reconnaissance Engineering cum traffic Survey/ Preliminary Engineering cum traffic Survey for new Railway line from Chityal to Jaggaiahpet in the Blue Books of South Central Railway.

1.2 Doubling of line from Bibinagar to Nadikudu: Though there is good revenue and also now the separate State of Telangana is formed, there is an increased traffic between Hyderabad and Amaravathi and there is urgent need for the doubling of line.

Remarks: Guntur (Nadikudi)-Bibinagar (Doubling): Final Location Survey for doubling between Guntur - Bibinagar (239 km) was sanctioned with the cost of Rs.2,480.00 Cr. Final Location Survey is completed. Detailed Project Report along with Detailed Estimate at a vetted cost of Rs.2,969.27 Cr. was submitted to Rly. Board for sanction. Board has made certain observations and remarks to it are under compliance.

1.3 Functioning of Dameracharla Railway Station: At present, all the trains between Bibinagar – Nadikuda are halting at Vishnupuram. Damercharla station is completed in all aspects and it should be bring into operation. Dameracharla is a Mandal Head Quarter and a 4000 MW Yadadri Ultra Power Project is coming up nearby Dameracharla is under construction, due to which number of employees including technical and skilled workers from across the country are working at construction site. Further the Power Plant is expected to commission within 2 years and huge quantity of Coal is to be imported from various parts of the country. In view of the above it will be convenient to the general public and staff and workers of power station if Dameracharla station is brought into operation.

Remarks: There is no station at Damaracherla. Nearest station to Damarcherla is Vishnupuram which is 2.5 Km away. Pushpull train stops at Vishnupuram station.

1.4 Routing the Trains To Vijayawada (via) Miryalaguda, Vishnupuram, Janpahad, Mellachervu, Mattampally & Jaggaiahpet. Rly. works between Jaggayyapeta–Janapadu–Vishnupuram are completed including electrification. As such it is nearer route from Secunderabad to Vijayawada by about 60 Km.

of 100

Therefore, it is requested to issue a notification to run some of trains to Vijayawada (via) Vishnupuram as it will be convenient to local people and reduce the cost of operation as well as journey time. At present on this route Goods Trains are operating and there is an urgent need to operate Passenger trains.

Remarks: This section was opened for running of freight traffic only and currently running with heavy freight traffic. For running of passenger trains in this section, doubling along with passenger amenities is essentially required. Final Location Survey for doubling between Motumarri–Vishnupuram (DL) was sanctioned on 15.07.2021. Survey is under progress.

1.5 High Speed Line/Corridor between two capital cities of Telangana and AP i.e., Hyderabad (Kacheguda)–Amaravathi (Vijayawada) along NH-65: 1500 buses are plying per day on NH-65 in addition to the existing trains between Secunderabad and Vijayawada. In spite of that, there is always a further demand by passengers to travel through private vehicles/carriers. This shows a high demand between these two. Distance between the present Railway line via Kazipet/Guntur is in the range of 360 – 320 KM, whereas the proposed line along the NH-65 is about 265 KM i.e., the distance is shortened by 90 KM. The travel time by train via Kazipet/Guntur is in the range of 6 to 7 hours, depending upon the train. The road travel due to tolled 4-lane highway of NH-65 has drastically reduced to 4 – 4½ hours due to which people are preferring the road than rail. By proposed High Speed line, the travel time will be reduced to 3 to 3.5 hours. This proposed line will also connect Kakinada, Visakhapatnam, Krishnapatnam Port as well as Northern Coastal of Andhra area (VSKP) towards Hyderabad, Mumbai and further to Western & Northern Ports of India for freight movement of imports & exports. This proposed line will rapidly industrialize the backward regions of Southern Telangana.

Remarks: As on date there is no sanctioned proposal along NH 65 for new line between Hyderabad-Vijayawada. It is pertinent to mention that extension of Mumbai–Hyderabad High Speed Rail Project to Vijayawada along NH 65 Highway is the subject matter to be decided by NHSRCL (National High Speed Rail Corporation Ltd) and Ministry of Railways. Hon’ble MP’s Representation will be forwarded to the Ministry.

1.6 New Line between Dornakal Junction to Gadwal via Suryapet, Nalgonda, Nagarkurnool:

It connects all the 7 district headquarters (Khammam, Mahabubabad, Suryapet, Nalgonda, Nagarkurnool, Wanaparthy and Gadwal) which covers majority of Southern Telangana region. This region is the most backward/ interior area of Telangana State and people generally go to Mumbai & Ahmedabad/Surat for their livelihood for a greater period of the year due to perennial employment conditions. By this new line, development will take place and annual intra-immigration will come to a bare minimum.

This proposed line will have short distance for a freight movement from Singareni Collieries and Kakinada & Visakhapatnam Ports to the Thermal Power Plants and Cement Plants which are situated in South Western & Central Railways of Karnataka and Maharashtra States.

The proposed line will connect the people of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Orissa to the Western India (Mumbai, Pune, Goa, Ahmadabad, Surat, Jaipur, etc.) and also to Bangalore & Mysore.

This proposed line will also decongest the already saturated line of Dornakal-Kazipet section and Kazipet–Secunderabad section. Required land acquisition and the total project cost will get it shared with the Government of Telangana, after land survey sanction.

Remarks: There is no sanction available for Reconnaissance Engineering-cum- Traffic Survey/Preliminary Engineering-cum-Traffic Survey for new Railway line from Dornakal Junction to Gadwal via Suryapet, Nalgonda, Nagarkurnool in the Blue Book of South Central Railway.

1.7 Setting up of Vande Bharath Coaches Production Unit in Nalgonda/ Suryapet/Yadadri Districts: These coaches are developed indigenously for high speed connectivity by the help of private players, as a part of proto-type production.

No green field Railway Production facility is available in India. Presently, totally Indian Railways are depending on private players. There is an immediate need for one production unit exclusively to be set up on green field basis. There is no coaching production unit in Telangana till now, although there was initially planned at Kazipet in 1980s, later shifted to Punjab (Kapurthula) to suppress the terrorist movements in Punjab at that time. This facility at Southern Telangana will greatly develop the unemployment and also as spur rapid industrial growth due to ancillary units setting up in and around Southern Telangana region.

Required land will get it arranged on free of cost from the Government of Telangana after principal policy decision/approval is taken.

Remarks: Setting up of Coach Production Unit is a policy decision to be taken by the Railway Board, Minisry of Railways, New Delhi.

There is no MLR facility for the self-propelled coaching vehicles in Southern India particularly for EMU & MEMU. For Midlife Rehabilitation of DEMUs, South Central Railway is presently sending to Perambur Workshop, but however they are unable to take up due to their existing load. For Traction Machines, overhauling/ rehabilitation, all are being sent to Nasik, for which inordinate delay and non-priority in taking up the work is faced by South Central Railway & South Western Railway. Having this Workshop at South Central Railway, it will solve the problems of our Zone as well as proposed South Coastal Railway, South Western Railway and East Coast Railway. Required land will get it arranged on free of cost from the Government of Telangana after principal policy decision/approval is taken.

LC No-12(E) having Train Vehicle Units (TVUs) 8,970 at Railway Km.67/24-26. During the course of time, local villagers started using Railway land along the track as Kutcha Road unauthorizedly near the LC Gate. Now it is being requested to upgrade it to BT road.

The present kutcha road itself is an encroachment/unauthorized passage within Railway boundary and this land is essentially required for track maintenance.

Keeping in view the present essential requirement and to accommodate future third line, it is not feasible to spare Railway land for laying the BT road at the above said location.

At present, there are two routes connecting Hyderabad and Vijayawada, via., via Kazipet, which is 349 Km and via Miryalguda, which is 313 Km. But the proposed route along the NH 65 alignment is only 256 Km thus reducing more than 60 Km in. From Hyderabad, already there is rail track till Chityal and from Vijayawada, there is already rail track till Jaggaiahpet. Hence, rail track only needs to be laid between Chityal and Jaggaiahpet along NH 65. There is already earlier acquired land for NH expansion besides NH 65. Hence, land acquisition for the suggested new rail track from Chityal to Jaggaiahpet is not an issue. This route will also connect the hitherto unconnected but important towns of Suryapet and Kodad. A bullet train from Hyderabad to Vijayawada via Nakrekal, Suryapet and Kodad will also be financially viable.

High Speed/Rapid Rail connectivity between Hyderabad – Vijayawada along the NH 65 will have many advantages.

1500 buses are plying per day on NH 65 in addition to the existing trains between Hyderabad/Secunderabad and Vijayawada. Inspite of that, there is always a further demand by passengers to travel through private vehicles/carriers. This shows a huge traffic density between these two cities.

Distance between the present Railway line via Kazipet/Guntur is in the range of 360-320 km., whereas the proposed line along NH 65 is about 265 km i.e. the distance is shortened by 90 km.

The travel time by train via Kazipet/Guntur is in the range of 6 to 7 hours, depending upon the train. The road travel due to tolled 4 lane Highway of NH 65 has drastically reduced to 5 ½ hours due to which people are preferring the road than rail. By proposed High Speed Line,the travel timewill be reduced to 2 hours. This proposed line will also connect Kakinada, Visakhapatnam, Krishnapatnam Port as well as Northern Coastal of Andhra area (VSKP) towards Hyderabad, Mumbai and further to Western and Northern Parts of India for freight movement of imports and exports.

This proposed line will also connect the Machilipatnam port to Hyderabad and further to Northern India (New Delhi) and Western India (Mumbai and Ahmadabad).

This proposed line will rapidly industrialize the backward regions of Southern Telangana.

Hence it is requested to sanction the High Speed Railway line between Hyderabad – Vijayawada along NH 65 Highway in the line of project sanctioned between Mumbai to Hyderabad.

of 100

Remarks: As on date there is no sanctioned proposal along NH 65 for new line between Hyderabad-Vijayawada. It is pertinent to mention that extension of Mumbai – Hyderabad High Speed Rail project to Vijayawada along NH 65 highway is the subject matter to be decided by NHSRCL(National High Speed Rail Corporation Ltd) and Ministry of Railways. Hon’ble MP’s representation will be forwarded to the Ministry.

2) Doubling and Passenger movement on the railway line between Motumarri and Vishnupuram. The existing Motumarri – Vishnupuram single railway line is of 90 Km and connects not only the cement plants of the Jagayyapeta cement industrial cluster, but also the upcoming 4000 MW Yadadri Ultra Mega Power Plant of Telangana Power Generation Corporation. Once the Power plant is commissioned, the single line will not be able to cater to the projected requirement of rakes for the power plant. Hence, it is very much essential to double this line. Moreover, this line also connects the important towns and pilgrimage centres of my constituency like Jagayyapet, Mellacheruvu, Muktyala, Janpahad and Wadapalli. In view of the importance of these towns and the projected traffic on this line, this line should be doubled and passenger services are to be started.

Remarks: This section was opened for running of freight traffic only and currently running with heavy freight traffic. For running of passenger trains in this section, doubling along with passenger amenitiesis essentially required. Final Location Survey for doubling between Motumarri – Vishnupuram (DL) was sanctioned on 15.07.2021. Survey under progress.

3) New line between Dornakal and Miryalguda to connect agricultural and industrial areas of Miryalguda, Kodad, Neredcherla, Huzurnagar and Rajespuram. A proposal for a new railway line between Dornakal and Miryalguda was sanctioned for survey in the Railway budget 2013-14. This line connects the important towns like Miryalguda, Kodad, Neredcherla, Huzurnagar, Rajespuram and Nelakondapalli. This area is rich in not only agricultural production, but also cement and mining of granite. A railway line in this area will boost the economic development of the region by the provision of Rail transport facilities which is environment friendly and economical for the local farmers and industry. However, after the survey, no further progress has happened on the commissioning of the line.

of 100

Remarks: Railway Board has sanctioned Reconnaissance Engineering cum Traffic survey for New BG line between Dornakal–Miryalguda stations (120 km) vide item No.27 of Blue Book 2013-14.

5) Narayanadri and Visakha express trains are having halt on outward direction only. Requesting you to provide stoppage for either of the express trains while on return direction for the convenience of public from Miryalguda, Huzurnagar and Nagarjunasagar constituencies to reach Hyderabad.

Stoppage of Narayanadri and Visakha Express only on one-direction causing difficulty. As the constituency people of Miryalaguda, Huzurnagar, Nagarjunasagar travel through Miryalaguda Station. Hence it is requested to provide Bi-directional stoppage for Important trains like Narayanadri and Visakha etc.at Miryalaguda Railway Station.

Remarks: The stoppage of Narayanadri and Visakha Express was eliminated due to poor patronage, as these trains are passing between 02:00 & 03:00 AM. Alternatively, 5 daily Mail/Express trains, and 4 non-daily express trains provide connectivity from Miryalguda to Secunderabad.

6) Coach Indication boards on platform are not in service. This is causing lot of inconvenience for passengers in locating their respective coach. Need to be restored immediately.

Remarks: Work was proposed in the Works Programme of 2021-22 but the work was not sanctioned. The same work will be proposed again in Works Programme of 2022-23.

Trains Requirement

1) New Bidar-Kalaburagi-Bengaluru Express daily: As you know there is huge passenger flow between Bidar/Kalaburagi districts towards Bengaluru. This route will help utilization of the underutilized New Bidar-Kalaburagi route & will provide connection to 2 talukas (Humnabad, Kamalapur) with direct train to Bengaluru.

Remarks: T.No.16571/72 Yeswanthpur-Bidar-Yeswanthpur has been proposed for diversion on this route. Railway Board’s approval for the same is awaited.

2) Extension of Train No. 07327/8 Mangaluru-Vijaypur(Bijapur) express to Secunderabad via Kalaburagi: Currently this train is cancelled due to Covid-19. However, there is need to connect the northern most tip of Karnataka & Telangana to Coastal Region. The existing 02777/8 Mangaluru-Kacheguda exp takes long circuitous route of 1525Kms, instead if 07327/8 Mangaluru-Vijaypur express is extended till Secunderabad the distance can be reduced by 300+Kms along with reduction in travel time. This will also benefit Secunderabad/Kalaburagi areas with connection to Konkan areas of Goa, Karwar, Udupi etc.

Remarks: Vijaypur (Bijapur) comes under jurisdiction of South Western Railway and the rake also belongs to them. Hence, operational feasibility has to be primarily examined by S.W. Railway. Hence, the proposal will be forwarded to S.W.Railway for examining its feasibility.

3) Diversion of 11307/8 Kalaburagi-Hyderabad Intercity via Bidar: There is need to have morning connection from Kalaburagi towards Bidar, and 11307/8 Kalaburagi-Hyderabad Intercity Exp (this train is currently cancelled due to Coivd-19) can be diverted via Bidar which would then ultimately cater to Hyderabad.

Remarks: This diversion will involve longer route and may cause inconvenience to the present users. However, the proposal will be taken up with Central Railway as the rake and one end terminal belong to them.

4) Morning connection from Hyderabad to Kalaburagi: There are no trains from Hyderabad towards Kalaburagi in morning hours, a new train this will help lot of people especially Central Government employee from Hyderabad areas who work in Kalaburagi district. We request to kindly consider new train from Hyderabad towards Kalaburagi in morning hours.

Currently there is no connection between Kalaburagi and Marathwada Region of Maharashtra even though they are geographically co-located.

Remarks: There are no maintenance facilities at Aurangabad and Kalaburagi. Moreover, the entire route is single line section with capacity constraints. Hence, it may not be feasible to introduce a new train, for the present.
